Unidex-50 IV Infusion 100ml

About Unidex-50 IV Infusion Unidex-50 IV Infusion is a highly concentrated, sterile hypertonic solution containing 50% Glucose (Dextrose). Manufactured in Nigeria by Unique Pharmaceuticals Limited, it serves as a rapid source of calories and is primarily used for the emergency management of severe hypoglycemia (critically low blood sugar). This 100ml infusion is produced using advanced Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) technology to ensure the highest standards of sterility and safety. Due to its high concentration (50g of glucose per 100ml), Unidex-50 is considered a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM) and must be administered under strict medical supervision. Indications and Uses Unidex-50 is indicated for:

Severe Hypoglycemia: Rapidly raising blood sugar levels in patients who are unconscious or unable to take oral glucose. Caloric Supplementation: Providing immediate energy in cases where parenteral nutrition is required. Temporary Relief of Cerebral Edema: Used in specific clinical settings to help reduce pressure in the brain.

Administration and Safety Unidex-50 is for intravenous (I.V.) use only. Because it is a hypertonic solution, it is typically administered through a large central vein to minimize the risk of vein irritation or thrombosis. In acute emergencies, a doctor may administer it slowly via a peripheral vein. Patients receiving this infusion should be closely monitored for blood glucose levels and electrolyte balance. If you have concerns about the administration or suitability of this medication, we recommend you contact a Meddylab pharmacist for professional guidance. Storage and Handling Store the bottle below 30°C and protect it from freezing. Do not use if the solution is discolored or contains visible particles.
